I am playing with the idea of trying running Home Assistant Core directly on my Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB running the latest Venus OS
Not even sure if they will be able to co-exist but I wanted to try.
If it works, I will have in the same box VenusOS, Node Red, Signal K and Home Assistant Core on a low consumption unit perfect for my Camper Van.
I am following the instruction for Home Assistant Core and when trying to install the prerequisites packages with this command I of course get errors because they are not present in the configured repos.
So the base OS is VenusOS? I guess this is based off of some other linux distro, for example ubuntu. I personally would just add the main ubuntu repo to the list, like apt-add-repo http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble main
But since you a re trying to use opkg im guessing that VenusOS does not come with apt?
I run proxmox on a miniPC that then runs all the necessary things like HomeAssistant each in its container. Easier to deal with for me personally, since all the things are seperated from eachother, if i manage to break one install then that doenst affect the others
You can install HA on Ubuntu, it may not be officially supported, but that does not mean it doesnt work.
But i was referring to the base OS that VenusOS is based on. However, reading the VenusOS wiki, it looks to me like its a completely custom made linux distro.
